The Standard Conditions, as defined in the Grant Agreement, provide that the World Bank may issue additional instructions regarding the withdrawal of the proceeds of Grant TFOB7784 ("Grant"), and may set out Project specific financial reporting requirements. This letter ("Disbursement and Financial Information Letter"), as revised from time to time, constitutes such additional instructions. I. Disbursement Arrangements and Withdrawal of Grant Funds The World Bank Disbursement Guidelines for Projects, dated February 1, 2017, ("Disbursement Guidelines") are available in the World Bank's public website at h[tps/www.worldbank.or9 and are an integral part of the Disbursement and Financial Information Letter. The manner in which the provisions in the Disbursement Guidelines apply to the Grant is specified below. Sections and subsections in parentheses below refer to the relevant sections and subsections in the Disbursement Guidelines and, unless otherwise defined in this letter, the capitalized terms used have the meanings ascribed to them in the Disbursement Guidelines. (i) Disbursement Arrangements The table in Schedule I provides the disbursement methods which may be used by the Recipient, information on registration of authorized signatures, processing of withdrawal applications (including minimum value of applications and advances), instructions on supporting documentation, and frequency of reporting on the Designated Account, (ii) Withdrawal of Grant Funds (Electronic Delivery) Section 7.01 (c) of the Standard Conditions. The Recipient will deliver Withdrawal Applications (with supporting documents) electronically through the Bank's web-based portal "Client Connection" at https://clientconnection.worldbank.org This option will be affected after the officials designated in writing by the Recipient who are authorized to sign and deliver Withdrawal Applications have registered as users of "Client Connection". The designated officials will deliver Applications electronically by completing the Form 2380, which is accessible through "Client Connection". By signing the Authorized Signatory Letter, the Recipient confirms that it is authorizing such persons to accept Secure Identification Credentials (SIDC) and to deliver the Applications and supporting documents to the Bank by electronic means. The Recipient may exercise the option of preparing and delivering Withdrawal Applications in paper form on exceptional cases (including those where the Recipient encounters legal limitations), and which were previously agreed with the Bank. By designating officials to use SIDC and by choosing to deliver the Applications electronically, the Recipient confirms through the authorized signatory letter its agreement to: (a) abide by the Terms and Conditions of Use of Secure Identification Credentials in connection with Use of Electronic Means to Process Applications and Supporting Documentation, available in the World Bank's public website at https://worldbank.org and "Client Connection"; and (b) to cause such official to abide by those terms and conditions. II. Financial Reports and Audits Section 2.07 (a) and (b) of the Standard Conditions. (i) Financial Reports. The Recipient must prepare and furnish to the Bank not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, interim unaudited financial reports ("W7R") for the Project covering the quarter. (ii) Audits. Each audit of the Financial Statements must cover the period of one fiscal year of the Recipient, commencing with the fiscal year in which the first withdrawal was made. The audited Financial Statements for each such period must be furnished to the Bank not later than six (6) months after the end of such period. III. Other Important Information For additional information on disbursement arrangements, please refer to the Loan Handbook available on the World Bank's website (http://www.worldbank.org) and "Client Connection". The World Bank recommends that you register as a user of "Client Connection".
